Chapter 613: [Sponsored]: Suiryu Miserable State

[This Chapter Is Sponsored by T! Everyone, please thank him in the comment!]

"Don't go yet, I have something to tell you."

As everyone was preparing to leave, Fang Mo suddenly grabbed Saitama and dragged him to a corner: "It's chaos outside right now... Aren't you going to do something about it?"

"Chaos outside?"

Saitama was confused, "What's happening outside? Are there bombings?"

"It's the monsters."

Fang Mo cut to the chase, "I just received a notification from the Association. It seems that an organization called the Monster Association has emerged. They've kidnapped the son of a high-ranking member of the Hero Association, and they are likely wreaking havoc across various cities... Do you want to help them?"

"The Monster Association? There's such an organization?"

Saitama was also a bit surprised and touched his head unconsciously, "I can help, but what about you? Aren't you going to help too?"

Fang Mo shrugged, "There are quite a few of my fans here, I can't just abandon them... Moreover, there have been casualties here, it's more appropriate for me to stay."

"What about the fighting tournament..."

"The referee got kicked to death, how can we continue any matches?"

Before Saitama could finish his sentence, Fang Mo interrupted him: "The situation is indeed severe now, and the fighting tournament can't go on. Are you going to help the other heroes or not?"

"If that's the case..."

Hearing this, Saitama nodded subconsciously, "Then I should leave first."

After a brief negotiation, Saitama left obediently, and Fang Mo watched the crazed monster leave before he confidently walked towards the arena.

"You're stalling for time to let those guys turn into monsters, aren't you?"

On the way back, Xiao Yao suddenly spoke up.

"Pretty much."

Fang Mo didn't intend to hide it, "If I just sit there, even the Bakuzan wouldn't dare consume a monster cell, then who will compensate me for the loss of experience in boxing?"

"So should we capture Bakuzan to farm experience?"

Xiao Yao suggested, "I've made several different models of monster capture balls, it's a good time to test them, and go back to make a real automated farming line for Bakuzan."

"Aren't you always thinking about automation..."

Fang Mo couldn't help but facepalm.

"That's how we in the tech faction do things," Xiao Yao proudly raised his head, "Automated mass production is the way to go, who's crafting Infinity by hand?"

"The equivalent services over at apple's?"

Fang Mo thought for a moment before asking.

"Nonsense, they only rented the server for a month, how could they graduate without the equivalent of Infinity?" Xiao Yao retorted directly.

"Anyway, let's not talk about that now."

Fang Mo waved his hand and then glanced at the little creature floating in mid-air, "Can't you just walk properly, do you have corns on your feet?"

"Why would I walk when I can fly?" Xiao Yao retorted directly, "You guys can even dream, by that logic, you might as well not use your hands... just wait for the dream, right?"

"The problem is you floating there makes you look like some kind of emergency food."

Fang Mo complained, "Even though I indeed founded the Original God (Genshin), I didn't ask you to cosplay as the mascot."

"Then shall I walk?"

"Alright, alright, forget I said anything..."

It didn't take much time to return to the arena, just a few minutes, and the two were back at the fighting venue.

However, compared to when they left.

The situation at the venue had completely turned one-sided.

Despite the heroes' support, Gouketsu had dragon-level power, and ordinary heroes couldn't match him, so many fighters soon gave in to temptation under the overwhelming power and turned into monsters.

And after the first one did it.

Soon, the fighters began to continue consuming monster cells.

When Fang Mo returned to the venue, he found that there were already a lot of monsters there.

As for the original champion... the martial artist Suiryu who practiced Void Fist, he confidently attacked Gouketsu but was quickly knocked down by the opponent, now being brutally beaten and coughing up blood under his feet.

"Ow... it hurts..."

After getting beaten up, Suiryu realized, "What's going on with this guy... Can I really not beat him?"

Although not a match for Gouketsu.

Suiryu still had some strength.

He could clearly feel that if he didn't run away, he would definitely get killed by this monster... or turn into one.

Although Suiryu was always very proud and only practiced martial arts to make himself more popular for dating girls, his talent was still quite strong, and under the threat of death, he managed to inspire his potential and struggled out from under Gouketsu's feet.

"Haha, you're afraid to face me now?"

However, Gouketsu on the other side laughed directly: "Even if you try to run, it's useless."

As he said that, suddenly a bunch of monsters rushed over and surrounded Suiryu tightly, including several crow monsters and many martial artists who had turned into monsters; they all stared ferociously at Suiryu.

"You guys..."

Seeing these guys, Suiryu was also a bit panicked.

Honestly, he could have dealt with these monsters under normal circumstances, but now after being brutally beaten by Gouketsu, he was struggling even to stand, so he could only shout, "How can you become accomplices of a monster!"

"Hahaha, that's exactly what we were hoping for!"

A martial artist monster with braids and an extra eye on his forehead sneered, "Suiryu, don't think we didn't notice, you never really looked at us, did you?"

"Indeed."

Another monster with two horns on his head also slowly spoke, "Although I'd rather kill that so-called S-class hero... but it seems he has already run away, so killing you is just as good. Your contempt is almost seeping out of your bones, it's really disgusting."

"How can you be like this..."

In his panic, Suiryu didn't know what to do; he really didn't want to die, but while his gaze wandered, he suddenly noticed Bakuzan standing not far from the ring.

"Huh?"

Seeing Bakuzan, Suiryu suddenly realized something.

He remembered that the other party seemed quite strong, although later he was beaten up so badly he was stuck on the wall, but his performance in the previous matches was quite decent, though he hadn't remembered his name... after all, Suiryu was too lazy to remember such people's names under normal circumstances, since they were all weaker than him.

But now was different.

Now it was a matter of life and death.

"Hey! I'm talking to you!"

In a life-and-death situation, Suiryu couldn't think much and directly shouted to the other party: "I heard people say you're quite strong? I'm in a bit of a tough spot... could you come over and help me?"

"Heh..."

However, facing Suiryu's plea for help, Bakuzan suddenly scoffed.

"I was planning to watch a bit longer, but it seems it's about to end now." Bakuzan slowly said, "I know I'm not as strong as you guys, you are young and handsome, with good talents... but honestly, that does make people jealous."

"…What?"

Suiryu was also stunned by the other party's words.

"But even someone like you is just struggling in vain against monsters now."

At that moment, Bakuzan spoke again: "Even the Association's S-class heroes ran away in the chaos, it's ironic, it seems even reaching the peak among humans is no match for monsters."

"You're right, so can you come over and help me together..."

Suiryu was a bit uneasy, but now the other party was his only lifeline, no matter what, he had to try to convince him.

But before he could continue saying anything.

Bakuzan's face twisted viciously as he pulled out a monster cell.

"I've decided not to be human anymore."

"Nani!?"

Suiryu was shocked, his only hope shattered, and he felt utterly desperate.

"Hahaha, Suiryu, I won't leave any for you."

As he spoke, Bakuzan crazily stuffed the fleshy balls into his mouth: "Just die quietly here, look around... isn't everyone looking forward to the moment you die?"

Suiryu instinctively turned his head to look.

As expected, everyone around him was looking at him with cruelty, just as Bakuzan said, these people all hoped he would die, perhaps he had been too arrogant all this time?

It's just too bad he realized this too late, even regrets were useless now.

And just as Suiryu was reflecting on his past, Gouketsu not far away suddenly spoke up, "I said one per person was enough, why did you eat all the monster cells?"

"Hahaha, I won't... burp!?"

Bakuzan laughed proudly, foul-smelling monster meat spewing from his mouth, but before he could finish his sentence, his body suddenly swelled violently, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets, and he collapsed lifelessly to the ground.

"He really burst."

Gouketsu looked at Bakuzan's corpse and shook his head in pity: "It seems fools can't turn into monsters, oh well, this is good too, it's time to end this."

As he spoke.

The monsters also launched their attack at the same time.

Suiryu tried to defend himself, but honestly, he couldn't move anymore, he could only watch helplessly as the crow's sharp beak got closer and closer to him. However, unexpectedly, just when he was about to be attacked, a figure clad in green suddenly stood out, managed to launch a few attacks, and blocked the monsters for him, although he himself nearly fell to the ground from the effort.

"It's you..."

Suiryu was stunned, "Snake Fist Snek? Weren't you already taken down..."

"Don't underestimate heroes."

Snake Fist Snek stood in front of Suiryu, his figure swaying slightly, "A true hero is someone who, at all costs, will stand against monsters... I still have that much resolve."

Of course, that was what he said.

But in reality, he was already struggling to breathe.

"Huh? You're still alive?"

Seeing that Snek was still alive, Gouketsu appeared somewhat surprised, "Looks like you're good material too, pity you're a hero. Plus, we're out of monster cells, so you might as well die, take him down."

With that command.

The surrounding monsters surged forward.

Snake Fist Snek raised his arms to block an attack from a monster, but outnumbered, he soon found himself in a situation where he was just getting beaten up. Crows pecked at him crazily, and the other monsters didn't stop attacking him, quickly beating him until he was spitting blood repeatedly.

"Heroes..."

Seeing this from behind him, Suiryu was deeply shocked, followed by a surge of despair and guilt. It was clear that Snek couldn't turn the situation around; after all, he was just enduring the beatings. It wouldn't be long before he would die alongside him.

Thinking this, Suiryu felt utterly hopeless.

But, just as he thought, it didn't take long for Snake Fist Snek to fall.

Just when the monsters were about to attack Suiryu, suddenly he felt something huge stand up behind him. A massive shadow was cast over him.

"Huh?"

Suiryu instinctively turned around and saw a gigantic four-armed gorilla rising from the ground.

The gorilla looked immensely robust, almost as formidable as Gouketsu but like a mountain with its fur as hard as metal, and sharp bone spurs at each joint, looking incredibly powerful just by its appearance.

"Did I... turn into a monster successfully?"

The gorilla looked down at its arms and then burst into excited laughter, "Hahaha, this boundless power feels amazing!"

"It actually worked, huh." Gouketsu commented nearby, "Surprisingly lucky, kid."

"Hahaha! I, Bakuzan, am now invincible in this world!"

Bakuzan was extremely excited, his transformation seemingly the most significant among all the monsters, probably because he had consumed an excessive amount of monster cells, giving his body an over-the-top evolutionary effect: "Not even the gods are my match! I, Bakuzan, am the strongest being!"

"You're Bakuzan?"

Suiryu was utterly shocked and speechless: "You..."

But before he could say anything more, Bakuzan stomped over with a huge crash, as if the entire fighting arena shook with it. Suiryu, with no ability to resist, was squashed under his foot, passing out.

"...What a joke, you dare speak to me?"

Bakuzan coldly uttered these words.
